"Luca and Marco, where could they be at this hour?" Rebecca cries thinking of all the possibilities.

"Maybe the bathroom?" Asta suggests.

Suddenly, lights start to appear from the houses near by.

"Urian, where are you?!"

"Chris?!"

"Fawn is gone!"

"Not the bathroom I guess, DWAAAHHHHH!!!!" Asta dodges anothr attack and it's flying straight at me.

"Heavenly Sky Magic: Sky on Water Reflection."My own mirror appears and shoot it's straight at Asta who clears it with his sword.

"Hey! What's wrong with this town?!" Asta exclaims in the cold.

"Snow falling out of no where at this time of the year?!That's insane!" A hugh pitched voice alarms us.

"Noelle?!?!?"Asta yells in surprise as she walks over rubbing her arms together for warmth.

"I saw lots of children leave for the mountain all of a sudden a little while ago.What was that? Magic? Some kind of Festival?"Noelle rants looking in the direction she saw the children go.

"No.It's magic alright, I can feel it." I explain.

"By the way Noelle, what are ypu doing here?" Asta inquires her.She immediately blushes and stumble around her words.

"I-i was just passing through!"She yelps.

Sure, sure.He'll believe you.

I think to myself sarcastically.

"Oh ok."Asta says.

You.have.got.to.be.kidding.me.

"I can feel someone's magic on this snow." Gauche states.

"Uh! If you were listening, I JUST said that!"I rant as I look up in the direction Noelle was looking at.

The footprints are faint but, enough for you to see them ever so slightly...

"A spell that controls it's targets. It may be limited to children who haven't developed their magic yet. Kidnapping children....what do they plan to do with them? Several of ours were taken too!" A familiar voice talks from behind us. We turn to see the nun from before with another Sister.

"Hey, Old Hag, you said several kids were taken." Gauche says in a threatening tone.

"Unfortunately, yes."The nun says looking down. Gauche immediately grabs the nun's collar screaming.

""He bawls in anger.I jump and pull him off.

"Even so, it won't make the children come back!"I yell at him.

"Your "Hee throws a punch at me, I was ready to blown him backwards when Asta cuts in and takes the blow.

"Asta.You little....."Gauche breathes heavily to try to resist his anger.

"Now, now Mister Gauche.Just calm down a little."Asta says waving his hand, he suddenly slams Gauche down with a head butt to Gauche's head.

"A Magic Knight, should always keep a cool head." Asta recalls.

I'm pretty sure that's my Captain said.

"Your right."Gauche agrees and looks up with a bloodied head.

""

""Gauche shouts standing up and rubbing his head.

"No, but listen, just forget about this and go look for clues!" Asta tries to divide the topic to a different direction.Gauche suddenly stops as he recalls something.

"Oh, I have Marie carry a magic mirror with her everywhere. If I use the transmission spell that links us to look for the mana in the mirror, I'll be able to tell roughly where she is!!"Gauche exclaims.

"THAT'S IT!!" Asta shouts pointing at Gauche.

"All right, that aside. I'm killing you!"Gauche's deadly voice comes back on while looking at Asta's moronic face.

It can't be that simple....I think i should tell someone to go grab some back up...

"Hey...Noelle....I have a favour to ask of you."I say as I approach her.She turns and looks at me suspiciously.

"Yes?"

"Could you perhaps go back to your Head quarters and ask for some back up? I do have a bad feeling about this."

"Hmmm...since you asked so politely, I guess i wouldn't have a choice to decline your favour."She says smugly, flipping her hair behind her.

Pah-lease you can't even control your magic!

"I'll go as well. We'll make them give back thr church's children too."Theresa's voice declares. (Theresa is the name of the old nun, if you didn't know.)

"Sister Granny! Just leave it to us!"Asta tells her.

"No, she's annoying, but that old hag packs some power in her." Gauche cuts in, a crying Rebecca comes over to Asta as I fall into deep thought.

Was sending Noelle really okay? This might be related to that group, White......something..something...if it is, we might encounter their boss seemingly because the boss last time was actually a minor....

"(Y/n)!We're going!" I hear Asta's voice shout, I look at him.

"Uh.Why are you holding broom when you can't use magic?" I ask pointing from the broom back to him, he rubs him head and answers.

"Well I was thinking you could drive us..."He trails off, I sigh and take the broom, I sit on and Asta climbs on behind me.We lift off the ground and go towards Theresa and Gauche.

As we flew according to Gauche's directing.

Gah!I can't freaking breath!

"Asta! Loosen up a bit! I'm suffocating!"I shriek as Asta's arms tighten around my waist.

"No way!I'll fall!"He cries back.we see ragged mountains up ahead and Gauche zooms faster.I add more magic and fly beside him.

"I'm picking up mana for over there!"Gauche shouts pointing at the caves.

"Then the kidnapped children are in the caves?!"Theresa yells.Suddenly, Asta's grip loosen around my waist.I look at him to see him looking at a small rock in front of the cave.

"That's...that kinda looks like Rebecca's brother! Take us down (Y/n)!" Asta yells looking at the rock.I squint my eyes and make out a small familiar face.

"Gauche!Theresa! We'll meet you guys there!"I shout to them.

"I'll come down too!"Theresa shouts.Gauche just looks at him, we make slight eye contact and he looks back forwards.

I'll take that as a okay then.

I fly down and Asta hops off cradling Rebecca's brothers in his hands.Theresa lands beside us and bends down.

"Marco! Snap out of it!"Asta shouts.

"This is awful, he's covered in scratches and bruises, and he's getting frostbite!"Theresa cries examining Marco and taking him out of Asta's arms.

"It's no use, he's under a spell, and his mind isn't here." Theresa sighs in worry.Asta pulls out his sword and lightly bumps the handle on Marco's head.Marco wakez uo and looks at us.

"Miss? Asta and Sister!"He says.

"Are you okay little one?"I ask softly.He replies with a teary eye and rubs his arm from the cold.

"Oww!"

"Wait just a moment."Theresa tells him as she flips through her grimoire.

"Flame Recovery Magic: Sacred Healing Light."Candles start to appear and it's warmth disperses around us.Asta confronts Marco with questions as I tell Theresa I heading on ahead, she nods and I grab my broom and fly into the cave to see a guy with medium length pale blue hair and icy blue eyes.

"Snow Creation Magic:Snow Friends." A dozen snowmen start to emerge from the snow on the floor, I open my grimoire and start to fire a spell.

"Heavenly Sky Magic: Shooting Stars." Fire balls start to pop up from around me I stretch out my arm and aim them at the snowmen, they fire and the snowmen melt and fall. Gauche looks up in surprise.

"What should I do brother?!"The boy cries looking over a plump man.

"Shaddup slowpoke!Use your brain for a change!"He shouts back.

"Arrghhhhh!"An unholy cry directs our attention towards the entrance of the cave. I spot Asta and Theresa coming through.Asta spots the children and directs his attention towards the plump man. Theresa flies down and looks at the unconcious children on the floor, examining one.

"T-these children...Their magic has been extracted!?! They may never, be able to use magic, ever again!"She cries in dosbelief.

Could this possibly be?!? How Asta doesn't have magic?! If we capture this guys we'll get answers.

I look up to see Asta already charging towards to chubby man.He swings his sword and the man is sent flying backwards.

The guy with plae blue hair from before starts to summon more snowmen, Gauche clears them in no time.

Gauche is actually really strong!

""

Or...maybe not and just a personality disorder.

The pale blue haired boy stumbles back and sends another spell.

"Snow Binding Spell: Snow Lime Rock!" A clot of snow emerges from the flopr beneath Gauche and and traps him and his mirrors.

"Heavenly Sky Magic: Moon Waltz!"A currwnt of wind blew from my hand and crushed the snow binding him.A light suddenly hits the blue haired boy from behind.

"Real Double." I hear two voices say.

Great....another mentally disabled personality child.
